Description
Innovation project led by ASOCHAMP, which also includes AIMPLAS, INGELIA and SAV. The main objective is the reduction of waste generated by the mushroom industry (spent substrate and agricultural film) and its subsequent valorisation.
Objectives
- Valorization of post-cultivation substrate to obtain advanced char as a high added value product and its subsequent validation for use as an amendment/fertilizer in agricultural soils and as a covering material in mushroom cultivation.
- Replacing film with sustainable compostable plastic solutions through physical modifications for mushroom cultivation
Results
- Obtaining advanced char from spent substrate residue, environmental improvement of mushroom cultivation through application of advanced char and improvement of the profitability of agricultural farms.
- Generation of different compostable films.
- Study of the useful life of cultivation films under real working conditions and validation of compostability at the end of useful life.
